Mi Apá Latin Café of Gainesville - Cuban restaurant in Gainesville - 114 SW 34th St, USA

Good food, just wish it was my actual order and I wasn’t asked if it was to stay or go- I was just handed a bag. I left because I was too embarrassed to sit so I ate around the corner on the curb. Maybe the other locations are more professional?

I had the Ropa Vieja Empanada, (shredded beef). It was cripsy and savory! Can't believe I almost didn't order it. I also ordered the Ybor Cubano and I've never had a better cuban in my life! I will definitely return if I'm ever again in the area.

What a treat to find. Very nice server. Enjoyed masas fritas and palomilla, plus mango juice, cortaditos, flan and tres leches to finish.

We went with takeout for this order, so I give this review from that standpoint. The place was well-kept, and the atmosphere was comforting when we went to pick up the food. I marked the service as three stars as, while they were very helpful, it took the staff member more time than expected to give us our order. It seems as if they were a bit confused by my life partner's name on the order. I'm sure it would be better if we had a dinner date there. The food was amazing, though. I can't emphasize that enough. If nothing else, try this place for the food alone. I guarantee you'll go back. I know we will.

It is unfortunate that they have neglected this location. It's all nice to open more locations, but you should not allow your locations to deteriorate... Broken tile Counters are ripped and broken Umbrellas outside are broken

Loved vibe of the place. Always feel welcome The Ropa Vieja bowl is my go-to

Really good Cuban food, nice atmosphere, and quick service. My favorite part was the plantains. Portion size is also pretty good. Their coffee is good and they have a lot of breakfast selections as well. My favorite things to order from here is the empanadas, the Cuban sandwich, and the Arroz con Pollo bowl, which I included a picture of here. My waiter was also super nice and attentive.

Wonderful Cuban food. Being from the west coast, I haven't had Cuban this good in a very long time. The beans were satisfying. The plantains they way they should be, tender but not mushy, caramelized sweetness. They rice was well cooked. The rope Viejas were tasty, tender and seasoned just right. I also ordered the flan which I chilled for a few hours and I really liked the texture more. The Carmel syrup was extra gooey and lovely. Service was quick and friendly. Not a fancy place but I don't care!
